Even just the analogy is incorrect. A lot of games put mobs in places to specifically act as barriers and whether the devs even allow to to kill them will vary from game to game. Or alternatively you've wandered into a high level zone too soon and are about to get your ass handed to you so much you might not even see what kills you.

Imp doesn't alt. Say what you want about the dude, but it seems he only has the one account.

He literally posted here using an alt account when banned one time because Epic did something he didn't like and he just had to blog about it.

Ironically they're not actually robots since they're sentient mechanical lifeforms.

I've been rereading some older comics, Supreme Power and Robots In Disguise, the first being an alternate Superman type story and the second unsurprisingly a Transformers story. In both the PoTUS ends up being a black woman after long enough passes in the former and the previous administration gets wiped out by the Decepticons in the latter.

Both are utterly useless and cause so many more problems by repeatedly relying on how they feel about situations despite experienced advisors telling them to stop being retarded.

It resolves with the Supreme Power PoTUS siccing a Fantastic Four copy on Hyperion while outside the White House resulting in the area getting nuked by all the powers going off, killing the idiot who escalated the situation. While Robots In Disguise has her literally team up with Galvatron and the Decepticons who claim to be oppressed by the Autobots and the real good guys all along - despite 2 years ago Megatron invading and killing over a billion people. Do note in this timeline Megatron and Galvatron are not the same person, Galvatron is actually worse in the end.

It's hilariously tragic and yet wholly deserved by these writers.

Reignited the space industry, advanced electric vehicles more than anyone in the last decade, returned some semblance of balance to online speech and social media by clawing one of the mouthpieces away, and said various quiet things out loud.

You know, all the worst things ever. Except the actual worst thing ever that will always be the worst thing ever no matter what similar or worse things might have happened before, since, of in the future.

How much of the Tesla did they disable or flat out remove? Because crushing a giant lithium battery isn't a good idea even under active demolition conditions, let alone a PR stunt involving a tank.

A tank which will have significantly greater emissions than the EV it just destroyed. But hey-ho, climate change and other important messages only matter when they carry political and social clout aimed in specific directions. Suspending them for the newest $CurrentThing won't surprise anyone here.

No, there are generally 3 options for games like this.

The traditional monthly sub which gets you access to everything.

Free to Play, which is bare bones access that probably has most of the main content people want locked away.

And a sort of middle ground which is F2P but with various hoops you can jump through to access the parts of the locked content you want without unlocking all of it. If you only want to pvp you can unlock access to the pvp modes, or remove any limits that might be present which would otherwise mean you can only do a set number of matches a day/week. Same deal with other modes be it dungeons, raids, or the campaign story.

Precisely how these features are paid for varies on the devs in charge. Some games let you use in game currency. Some let you use real money. Some of that in game currency can be bought with real money however so there are options for players. Some will just spend real money, some will grind away in game currency. The fastest route will always be the most expensive, though, and this is before getting into whatever MTX presence there might be.

Some Freemium games already do this where you need to pay for unlocks to weekly content that is otherwise baked into monthly subs. Swtor was doing this with flashpoints and ops [dungeons and raids] years ago already.

Did he sign off on it though? James Earl Jones did before he died so that his voice could be synthesised in future works, Star Wars would be my assumption for this, so at least there it's the actual VA giving permission and not his family/estate making a cash grab.

Trailers can be extremely misleading if done properly. Look at the Mrs Doubtfire Horror recut for example. While that's done as satire it wouldn't be the biggest surprise for modern game devs to release a trailer that doesn't match up to the full game experience. Even some games and sequels don't do that like with The Last of Us 2 with the midway change of characters.

Hold up, are you pronouncing the start of both satire and satyr the same way? Because that's not even correct either. Satire uses a hard a like cat, satyr uses a soft a like cape. Additionally an actual "satyr angle" would be one akin to satyrism, which is the male form of nymphomania. If you don't know what words mean, don't try to use them.

It's little more than a protest against the establishment and using the most recognised name/face in the room to rally around. However that's going to backfire spectacularly for Reform as an angry crowd getting behind them is still an angry crowd with expectations. Expectations Reform are going to be the ones left holding so if and when said expectations fall through the party is going to implode overnight.

So as per all his previous grifts we can expect him to leave the party in the next 3 months over some non issue then reappear as yet another opposition group, because actually being in charge and ending up as the one holding the cheque is anathema to Farage.

Which isn't helped by places flat out forbidding occupants from making those repairs if they aren't the homeowner. Not that those renting can otherwise expect a reasonable timetable for repairs to actually happen.

That's at least as retarded as I expected some of this to be. Were she to be hit with the same kind of principles regarding rent, utilities, and whatever else I'm sure she would complain.
